Excerpt from The Wyoming Valley in 1892 The valley as seen from the mountain top will never lose its charm; but below the poetry is marred, the enchanting spell is broken and the dreaming spirit broods no longer over this inland Eden. Of its past history we have only a few conflicting fragments, but these fragments have made this spot famous and have awakened the interest and sympathy of mankind. Its future history will be found in the statistical reports of its industries and the record of its material wealth.
